Premiership-winning forward Scott Sattler has predicted the Canterbury Bulldogs to improve to around mid-table in 2021 but has earmarked special praise for two up-and-coming forwards at Belmore.

“I think Jack Hetherington will emerge, I love his aggression, but you’ve got to use your aggression well. If he can control his aggression this year I think he’s a real x-factor in the forward pack,” Sattler said on SEN.

“Also there’s Matt Doorey, he’s a young back-rower at 20 years of age, he’s from their Jersey Flegg team but I think he’s developed really well, I’m looking forward to see him play.”
